Does Evans really want to be ran into the ground during college anyways? He should welcome talent to share carries with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsfanatic1 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I read where Evans said he wants to be on a national title team. Not really sure what that means unless he's talking about contenders year in and out or maybe the recent ones. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This about UT but I would be curious to why it wouldn't include other Texas schools also. I think Saban and crew is fixing to make a hard move towards him or he might end up in Athens. IDK, JMO “It’s just … you don’t know how to put it,” Evans told 247Sports as a part of a wide-ranging interview. “I don’t want to be disrespectful. I ain’t saying (Texas) can’t win a natty. It’s just at the moment [Texas is] not quite there. You beat Georgia but you barely beat Georgia. What about when it comes to a Bama or go to a Clemson? “Texas is a good school, they coming up.

A&M barely beat LSU, should that diminish the win and the effort it took to win that? Mid the kid watches college football, there are two teams built to win the NC every year. Bama and Clemson... why even consider anywhere else if you are going to speak like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone and everyone who watched that game, they know the final score was not indicative of how that game played out. Just want to clarify that part.

Stoney Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Evans grew up an artist. He sketched wolves in a composition book and learned origami from Google searches. He’d play street football in front of his North Side home, but his mom, Antoinette Evans, didn’t know Evans was even interested before he appeared in a youth football uniform late in elementary school. Antoinette said her son doesn’t even really talk about football. Asked when she thought he fell in love with, she could only respond: “When he decided that’s what he was going to do.” This is a common theme when you ask others about Evans. Much in the way he taught himself origami, resulting in a lack of printer paper in Antoinette’s house, Evans seemingly willed himself to the status of a standout recruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Set aside his bountiful talent: The spectacular plays, state championship and absurd testing numbers. Instead, consider that Evans is a five-star prospect who doesn’t watch football. He’s a high-profile Lone Star State rusher who didn’t include a Texas school in his top five – only to visit Texas and A&M less than a month later. He’s the recruit who asks coaches every question, often again and again, yet answers few in return. “I’m playing the recruiting game with them,” Evans said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 You play it cool. You go with the flow to see how they relate. You pick at things. You point out certain things to see what they really need. Are they lacking at my position or do they just want me to be a part of the machine?” – Evans on the recruiting game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 A few weeks prior Clemson landed five-star back Demarkcus Bowman, filling up the final ball carrier spot in the Tigers’ class. Evans had interest in the Tigers. Another school, which Evans opted not to name, also closed its running back recruiting before Evans could decide. There’s a dice tattoo along Evans’ right arm. Evans knows even recruiting, if he wants to do things his way, is a risk. “My spots fill up quick,” Evans said. “A lot of (coaches) preach how a school can do this or that. But that’s not the way I was raised. Salt and sugar look the same. You just have to play the game with them. Play it smart. They’re playing it smart too.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fault the kid for having interests other than playing football. Kudos to him on that. However, it's obvious that he does't have the attention to detail when it comes to football. Maybe his origamis and art projects, but not football. And that's what strange to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 “It wasn’t football for Zachary,” Sterling said. “It’s really still not. He’s really good at it, but football is just not him. He don’t watch football. He don’t talk about football. None of that. I won’t say it’s not something he doesn’t want to do, because of course he wants to do it. But he just wasn’t attracted to it. It just didn’t catch his attention.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stowers, Banks. Hope to see some more North Shore kids coming. Curious to see if Davis is willing to be part of a 2 QB class. Then there’s some RB for 2020 that’s supposed to be good but who knows?
